'Childhood' is the age spam ranging from birth to adolescence. It is a kingdom where nobody dies, just as a rose
gets its colour and fragrance from its roots, man gets his virtues from
his chilhood. According to the International Labour Organization there
are tremendous economic benefits if children are sent to school. Without
education, children do not gain the necessary skills and understanding.
In India, there
are several temples of 'Bal Ganesh', 'Bal Gopal', ‘Bal Krishna’, ‘Bal
Hanuman’ ie Childhood of God. According to Hindu philosphy, a child is
considered to be form of God. India is better known to be the country of
Dhruv, Prahlad, Lav-Kush and Abhimanyu, the children having talents
wisdom, intelligency and warriership. Apart from this, present day
picture of poor Indian child is very dark. The poor child is the most
neglected, most exploited and the most abused. Female child is the most
deprived and under privileged of the whole class of such children. The
girls are not only withdrawn from schools and forced to indulge in child
labour but they are even dragged in the prostitution.
'Child labour' is violation of human rights and is considered
to be a ‘necessary evil’ in any country in the whole world.. It hampers
their normal and natural physical, mental, spritual, intellectual,
emotional, moral and social development. Children are doing work as
domestic servants. They are employed in hotels, workshops, service
stations, shops, construction sites and pulling rickshaws etc. They are
even working in hazardous and unhygienic forms of labour in
manufacturing factories.

West Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Assam and also Mauritius and Nepal. It
is celebrated mainly among the Bhojpuri and Maithali speaking people.
